Spent a good bit of Friday and some of yesterday diving headlong into #FreeCAD using my #Gridfinity customized tool bins (tracing, etc) as momentum. Went down a few dead ends and lots of Kagi searches translating Fusion 360 knowledge and workflow.
I got to a functional bin in pretty short order once I really started the process, but I stumbled a lot on making the separate liner that I generate as a projection of the shape scaled to 0.99 in Fusion. I get the gist, but need to revisit. 1/2
So I have most of the zillion individual components sorted into labeled, standard #gridfinity bins in the workbench drawers now.
Now I'm delving into the custom holders for various tools and, frankly, it's a lot of fun. I gave tooltrace.ai a spin, but it was pretty buggy and not generating precise enough shapes for my tastes, so I'm just doing the designs myself in Fusion 360. I'm testing my own modified method and will share the workflow if it continues to work well.
458 hours on the #BambuLab H2S so far and the second time I've been prompted to conduct lubrication and cleaning from its in-built schedule. Definitely needed it.
Been printing kilos of Sunlu matte black PLA on my #gridfinity project and either that or typical abrasion dust off the belts in the machine make quite the mess. Between the dust and the haze I've cleaned off the inside glass more than once, I'm glad I added extra filtration on my system's rear vent.
Sure wish Sunlu would offer their matte PLA in refill form. I'm going through it at a steady clip on my #gridfinity project and these re-usable spools are piling up, but I have to keep ordering more instead of the more compact and environmentally friendly refills. :(
#Gridfinity suite aux conseils de @teotwaki, je cherche d’où vient le problème. Car j’avais oublié que j’avais imprimé deux boîtes de test, petites mais très solides, dans un autre filament.
J’ai donc imprimé ma boîte de test, très solide, mais dans mon filament problématique : elle casse aussi. C’est rassurant. Ce soir je tente en augmentant la température.
Un peu déçu par #Gridfinity pour le moment. J’ai imprimé quelques boîtes plus classiques, pas « Ultra Light », donc théoriquement plus solides… mais les parois restent super fines.
Je dois chercher si des gens ont designé des modèles renforcés. Et essayer avec du PLA Bambulab plutôt que ma vieille bobine que j’utilise actuellement, juste pour voir.
This crazy inexpensive Nelko label printer I bought a few months ago has been ideal during my #gridfinity project. I would have lost my mind on this project using the ancient, label-wasting, single line LCD P-touch I’ve had forever. Proven useful for a ton of needs so far.
J’ai imprimé mes premières boîtes #Gridfinity. J’ai chois un modèle « Ultra Light » sur Printables (https://www.printables.com/model/640800-gridfinity-ultra-light-bins-plain-lable-edition/files), pour économiser du filament, ça me semblait noble.
Raté : j’appuie à peine dessus que les murs se cassent 🙃
Je voulais imprimer mes premières boîtes rapidement cette semaine les soirs après le travail, mais il va quand-même falloir que je prête un peu attention aux pièces que je choisi ^^
